Kanagawa Taoist College Students

"Meow~~" When the mother and daughter were confronting each other, a cat meowed, attracting their attention.

On the window, a white kitten was squatting there, its blue eyes looking straight at the two of them, as if it could talk.

This scene is very strange, especially in the dead of night, it makes people feel even more terrifying.

But Mrs. Hosotani and Chinatsu Hosotani were not afraid at all, because they recognized this cute white kitten as someone's pet, and it also had an English name, Charlotte.

Although someone was adopted not long ago, they have already met them.

The mother and daughter stared at Charlotte on the window sill, the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

"Meow~~" Charlotte called again, and suddenly she stood up, lying on the glass window, and moved her cat's paw to the left.

"brush--"

For the kitten, the huge glass window closed all of a sudden. After that, it seemed to be obsessed with this game, and opened the glass window with its paws. It played several times in a row before stopping without being satisfied.

"..." Mrs. Hosotani and Chinatsu Hosotani were both shocked. Such a small cat, maybe only a little bigger than the palm of a hand, could actually push open a huge glass window, and it seemed to be very relaxed.

After the shock, Mrs. Hosaya was the first to react, and the expression on her face became more natural: "Chinatsu, I said it was the cat who opened the window..."

Hosotani Chinatsu also reacted, knowing that she had misunderstood, and felt very ashamed: "Yes, I'm sorry, mom." How could she think that, her mother was not that kind of wanton woman, she was just thinking wildly.

"It's already very late. You should go back and rest." Mrs. Hosoya obviously didn't take it to heart, and there was a trace of uncertainty in her eyes, as if she was doubting that it might really be Charlotte's "prank" just now.

"Then I'm going back." Chinatsu Hosotani was so ashamed that she didn't dare to stay long and hurriedly left the room.

…

On the other side, Li Xuehao also breathed a long sigh of relief. Charlotte was really useful tonight. In fact, he was not afraid that Chinatsu Hosotani would find out about himself and Mrs. Hosaya, but it was too early now, and seeing how ashamed Mrs. Hosaya looked just now, she probably couldn't accept that her daughter knew about her, so he Charlotte was sent to pretend to be the "wildcat".

Obviously, Charlotte pretended very successfully. At least Chinatsu Hosotani would no longer doubt her. Even Mrs. Hosotani probably doubted whether Charlotte was the "culprit".

After this episode, Li Xuehao couldn't go to Mrs. Xigu's place anymore. He could only sleep alone tonight.

The next day, he was the last one to get up because there was no class today either.

Sakurano High School has two games today. In the morning, the opponent is Kanagawa Prefectural Hota High School, and in the afternoon, Yokohama Municipal Akutsu High School. Except for Horita High School, which is pretty good in kendo, Akutsu High School and Tsurugai High School are about the same. , all just going through the motions.

After eating the breakfast left by Chiba Sayuri, Li Xuehao put on yesterday's sportswear, picked up the bag containing the kendo protective gear, and went out.

At this time, schools have started early and office workers have also gone to work. But what surprised him was that he saw Mrs. Hosaya at the door of the front yard. She seemed to be waiting here specially.

"Good morning, Manaka-kun." Mrs. Hosaya blushed a little when she saw him coming out, not knowing what she was remembering.

"Good morning, Eriko." When no one was around, Li Xuehao called her by name.

Eriko Hosotani looked around nervously and found no one, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Last night..." Originally, she wanted to ask why she didn't come last night, but she was too embarrassed to continue asking after the words left her mouth. .

"I was the one who opened the window last night." Li Xuehao took over her words and said, "I didn't expect Qianxia to be in your room."

"Ah—" Eriko Hosotani let out a brief exclamation, her eyes full of shock and shyness, "Last night... was it you?" She later thought it was Charlotte, because Charlotte had that ability.

"Yes, I saw Qian Xia left the room as soon as she was in the room." Li Xuehao nodded.

"Then Charlotte..." Eriko Hosotani was more than shocked.

"Charlotte was sent there specially by me." Li Xuehao explained.

Eriko Hosotani's eyes widened, probably because she couldn't imagine that he could actually command his pet cat to do that kind of thing. However, after the shock, she felt ashamed again: "Chinatsu said she wanted to sleep with me last night. I was originally I was going to send you an email, but Chinatsu took my phone. She was playing a game and needed the cooperation of another phone..."

Li Xuehao finally understood why he saw the light of a mobile phone in her room last night. It turned out to be Chinatsu Hosotani playing games. In fact, if he had looked more carefully at that time, he might have been able to spot that it was Chinatsu Hosotani.

"Eriko, what's wrong with you waiting for me here?" Normally at this time, Mrs. Hosoya would have gone to work at the convenience store, and Li Xuehao guessed that she must have something to ask him.

"It's the store manager. She wants to ask you a favor." Eriko Hosotani said.

"Mrs. Sawai?" Li Xuehao was a little surprised. Mrs. Sawai rarely asked him to help with anything, and she specifically sent the message through Mrs. Hosaya. She didn't know what it was about.

"Yes, the store manager hopes that you, Manaka-kun, will go to the convenience store to meet her after class in the afternoon." Eriko Hosotani nodded.

"Classes are over in the afternoon, right? Okay, I will go to the convenience store on time." Li Xuehao did not hesitate. Although he did not have to go to class today, he could still manage the time after class. He just didn't know what happened to Mrs. Sawai. Looking for him, Mrs. Hosaya didn't say anything clearly, so she probably didn't know either.

"Then I'll go to work first." After explaining the matter, Eriko Hosotani said goodbye and left.

Watching her go away, Li Xuehao picked up the bag and headed in the opposite direction.

Kanagawa Prefectural Hota High School is also in Yokohama City, but the distance is a bit far. It is in Seya District, spanning several areas, and it is almost at the east and west ends of Tsurumi District.

It's obviously not suitable to walk at such a distance. Fortunately, the subway here extends in all directions and you can take it at any time.

It was already past 9 o'clock when we arrived at Horita High School, and there was still less than half an hour before the game at 10 o'clock.

At this time, he was obviously late because the meeting time was 9 o'clock. Fortunately, he didn't have to play in the county competition, otherwise he would have received several calls urging him to do so.

Just like going to Seiko High School yesterday, Horita High School is also very lively today. As a home game, there is usually a holiday, and students from this school can enter the stadium to cheer for the school team.

After asking passers-by, Li Xuehao entered the gymnasium of Horita High School, where the match between the two schools was held.

Compared with the kendo club of Yokai Academy and the basketball gym of Seiko High School, the gymnasium of Horita High School is much taller. There are neat seats in the surrounding stands. It is conservatively estimated that hundreds of people can sit in each direction. Compared to the kendo club or basketball hall where you can only stand and watch, it is simply different.

At this time, the representatives from the two schools have arrived on both sides of the field. The one on the left is the representative of Horita High School, and the one on the right is the representative of Sakurano High School.

Li Xuehao walked to the right with his bag. Because he was the last one to arrive, he looked very unique and attracted everyone's attention.

"Koji."

"Master."

Naomi Fukuoka and Yoko Seto were kneeling on the sidelines, but now they both stood up.

"Sorry, I'm late." Li Xuehao walked over and put down his bag. At this time, there was no time to change clothes. He knelt down among a group of people wearing kendo protective gear, which made him look even more conspicuous.

Toshiro Fukuoka, a kendo coach, didn't say anything. He nodded to him and continued to look at Horita High School opposite.

There are both male and female representatives from Horita High School. Their coach is a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body. He doesn't look like a kendo teacher at all. Instead, he looks like a sumo wrestler, but he is smaller than a sumo wrestler. Lots of numbers.

"Yoko, after playing, choose the 'Gyokuryu Flag' competition system." Perhaps it was the performance of defeating Seiko High School yesterday that made Toshiro Fukuoka full of confidence. Although Horita High School still has some strength, he thinks that Seto alone Yoko can handle it alone.

"Yes, coach!" Seto Yoko was excited. She actually hoped to have more games like yesterday.

Other participants also had no objections. Everyone, including Naomi Fukuoka, expressed their affirmation of Seto Yoko's strength. If she could solve the game alone, of course they would be happy and relaxed.

In addition to the participants from the two schools, the competition venue also allows people to stand in the open space behind them. However, because it is very close to the participants, most of them are the support group of the participating team.

Li Xuehao saw Furukawa Kaede, Futouinichi, and Nishino Saito in the support group. In addition to the three of them, there were also members of the kendo club from Sakurano High School who missed the appearance and students who took time off to cheer. Originally, there were not many people in such a support group yesterday, but after Seto Yoko defeated Seiko High School alone, the number of students who asked for leave today was at least several times more than yesterday, so even if this is not at home, at least the students from Sakurano High School Participants will no longer feel alone.

As time goes by, the game will finally officially begin.

Yoko Seto, who was the first to appear, applied for the "Jade Dragon Flag" competition system. Although Horita High School thought Sakurano High School was arrogant, they agreed.

Yes, they have all heard the legend of one person defeating a school yesterday, but Horita High School is not an unknown school like Seiko High School. They are also famous in the entire Yokohama city, so they are not afraid of the "Jade Dragon Flag".

Jade Dragon Flag seems to be very beneficial to a certain side with extremely powerful players, but this does not end after three games. In ordinary one-on-one best-of-five games, as long as you win the first three games, there is no need to compete in the last two games. .

The "Jade Dragon Flag" must fight all the players on one side. The loser moves on, and the winner continues to stay on the field until all five players on a certain side are defeated.

With this kind of consumption, even if the strength is very strong, it will be difficult to last until the fifth game. Even if it is defeated by an opponent who is slightly weaker but has full physical strength, it will not be surprising. Once the opponent's strongest player is defeated, there will be four remaining Maybe they are very weak, so they might be able to win.

Theoretically, this format could even have nine games, which would be extremely intense.

Horita High School probably has its own secret "weapon", so even if the first player from Sakurano High School is Seto Yoko, who defeated an entire school by herself yesterday, it does not reduce their confidence at all.

With the referee's order, the game began.

Li Xuehao sat on his knees in the crowd. He had already seen all the players in Horita High School. None of them had as much energy and blood as Seto Yoko, but there was one who was closest to Seto Yoko, and the opponent should be Horita. The strongest player in high school, but he believed that Seto Yoko could still sweep his opponents today.

Under his guidance, even if his energy and blood were equal to Seto Yoko's, he would never be her opponent.

Sure enough, after five games, Seto Yoko was very relaxed in the first four games except for a little effort in the fifth game.

The Horita High School side was completely silent. At first, there were many students cheering them on in the surrounding stands. However, after losing three games, the cheering weakened, and the last game was even more silent. I thought they could win at least one game. To save some face, unexpectedly, they were still swept by 1vs5.

After Seto Yoko defeated Seiko High School by herself yesterday, she defeated Horita High School by herself again today. After this battle, her reputation will definitely become more popular.

"Coach Fukuoka, thank you very much for your advice. Thank you for your hard work." After the game, the "small sumo wrestler" Horita High School kendo coach came over with the student representatives who were discouraged after losing the game and followed Fukuoka. The Sakurano High School party headed by Toshiro came to greet him.

"Coach Okamoto, you are so polite, and thank you for your advice." Although Fukuoka Toshiro was proud and proud, his outward manner was very humble.

"Haha, it seems that you can win the national championship this year." Coach Okamoto straightened his belly. Although he failed, he still congratulated the other party on their achievements with a smile.

"The national competition hasn't started yet, and it's too early to say this now." Fukuoka Toshiro said modestly, but his tone was not without pride. He subconsciously glanced at a boy who seemed out of place without wearing kendo protective gear. This year's They are indeed stronger than ever, and the national championship must belong to Sakurano High School.

Coach Okamoto felt his gaze looking to the side, and also looked over, seeming to think of something, and said with a smile: "It seems that in addition to Seto Yoko and Fukuoka Naomi, you also have strong representatives, that The young man who is late is your strongest player."

"Coach Okamoto, you are so complimentary." Toshiro Fukuoka said haha. That is his secret weapon. Of course it will not be exposed now. When the national competition comes, it will definitely shock everyone.
